The Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with Automatic Leveling Control delivers precision boat control for aluminum and fiberglass hulled vessels from 20 to 40 feet. This complete system combines corrosion-resistant aluminum tabs with maintenance-free electric actuators and intelligent automatic leveling technology for superior performance and comfort on the water.
Automatic Leveling Control (ALC-1):
The included ALC-1 system automatically adjusts your trim tabs to maintain optimal boat attitude in changing conditions. It continuously corrects side-to-side roll and fore-to-aft pitch, improving fuel economy, enhancing comfort, and reducing fatigue on long runs. The system operates seamlessly in the background, requiring no manual input once configured.
Durable Aluminum Construction:
Each 12" x 18" trim tab is fabricated from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy with strength equivalent to 10-gauge stainless steel. All tabs are sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating for long-lasting protection in harsh marine environments. The innovative "no-break" polypropylene hinge has been tested to over 300,000 cycles at 90-degree bends without failure, ensuring reliable operation season after season.
Maintenance-Free Actuators:
Unlike hydraulic trim tab systems, these electric actuators contain no oil that can leak or require servicing. The non-metallic, permanently sealed housing is completely corrosion-free and requires no internal boat mounting. Each actuator delivers 1,000 lbs of push force with a 2.25" stroke length and features an internal brake system that prevents unwanted tab movement when underway or backing down. The upper ram seal location is protected from damage caused by fouled rams or barnacle growth.
